Hey Jen! How do I defriend someone irl? I just don't want to be around her anymore. Sara* moved here(CA) a few months ago from(WA) and I thought we'd be great friends. It isn't working out I don't want to be around her anymore .She so negative, I want to have a good time. She says I'm the only one worth talking to in the entire world.( she was a loner back home too). I have lots of friends. I have a boyfriend. I love parties and school activities. We're not a good match. I want to cut her off.
You could start by encouraging her to find new friends, so that she’s not so dependent on you. Next time she says that you’re the only person worth talking to in the world, you could say “that’s definitely not true, there are loads of great people in the world. You like (insert hobby or interest), why don’t you find a (hobby or interest) club to meet more people like you?”.
If you don’t want to be her friend, you’re not obligated to be her friend. Gradually start spending less time with her, and more time with other friends. Be less available, be more busy, and drift away.
